Is it worth fixing my St. Petersburg home's AC?

The value of repairing the AC in your St. Petersburg home is contingent upon a number of variables, including the age of the system, the severity of the problem, and the cost of the repair. If the AC is reasonably new and the cost of repair is affordable, fixing it is probably worthwhile. However, replacing it with a more energy-efficient model may be more cost-effective in the long run if the appliance is old, needs frequent repairs, or the cost of maintenance is high. Speaking with an HVAC expert can provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed choice based on your unique circumstances.

How long should my AC unit in St. Petersburg, FL, last?

If they receive regular maintenance, the majority of AC units can survive up to 15 years. Your air conditioner will lose energy efficiency as it ages, which could result in higher utility costs over time.

How do you know when it's time to replace your AC in St. Petersburg, FL?

If your AC unit needs to be repaired more than twice each year, you might want to consider replacing it. Your air conditioner will require more and more repairs as it ages in order to function effectively. Instead of making frequent repairs to an outdated machine, you will save more money by replacing it.

Called out today due to no cooling. Upon arrival client stated that there was no air coming through the vents. Checked all electronics and motor components. I found that the variable speed motor has failed. Condenser fan motor squeals when running. Filter is impacted. I was unable to check refrigerant pressures due to the fan not working. I gave the option to order the non warranty fan motor. Due to the extensive cost of the repair and the age of the machine. The homeowner would like a quote for replacement. Replacement does come with a 10 year manufacture parts warranty. This machine is at the end of it’s lifespan and has a major repair needed. Made homeowner aware that even if we make the repair.. this machine still has 25+ other components of the same age. This repair does not add life to the machine, it only fixes the initial problem. Left system off at outdoor disconnect. Chris will be here within the hour to give options for replacement. Thank you for always choosing

Called out today due to no cooling. Upon arrival client stated that the system was blowing hot air. They replaced the thermostat with a nest. Checked all electronics and motor components. Nest thermostat was wired incorrectly due to mismatched wires. Inside the air handler they connected orange to blue and white to orange. Outside the reversing valve was stuck in heat position. Unstuck valve by magnetizing the solenoid. Unable to check refrigerant pressures due to inoperable machine. There are tons of splices and mismatched wiring throughout the home. The thermostat wire has to be redone in order to restore proper communication. After wires have been replaced we can fully inspect the system. Office will call to schedule wire replacement. This will take two people (me and wade) about 3/4 hours. Need about 100 feet of 18/8 thermostat wire.

For the first time since moving to Florida I feel like I was given truthful, manageable solutions for my AC issue! I was able to see and understand exactly why my AC wasn’t blowing cold air, was given multiple different options for repairing and maintaining, as well as offered suggestions for a more efficient system in the future. I’m now confident, because of the annual membership I purchased, that the next year will be nice and cool. And if any problems arise I can count on this company to fix it up without giving me the run around.

I needed an emergency installation of AC as my 12 yr old unit was leaking. A friends company recommended Total Air as I was new to town and I will never regret calling them. The sales ppl came quickly and the installation of the new unit was quick as I was going out of town. The follow up service and maintenance is exceptional. The technicians I have dealt with are nothing but superb in their knowledge and job performance. I am 1000% satisfied with Total Air!!

He also washed his tools in our bathtub without asking permission or telling us he was doing that and left a dirty mess in our tub and bathroom.
